*Percy's POV*
we had just won the war, I would have been happy if I had my Annabeth.
that bastard Enceladus took her away from me, she stood in the way of his spear so Jason won't be killed. her last words rung in my head as I slowly walked with the rest of the heroes to the thrown room.
"be happy and always know that I love you," that was the last thing she ever said to me, how can I be happy, I lost the only thing I lived for.
I knew what to do. we were walking up the steps to the throne room, the doors opened by themselves which must have been Hephaestus doing.
everyone walked in and stood where the doors are so there's room for people to go to the middle, but we're all facing the gods.
Zeus started by saying how the seven should be rewarded blah, who cares Zeus.
when he got to the point Mr. D was already asleep, stupid fuck up.
"Jason Grace, my son step forward," Zeus said changing aspects for Jason.
Jason steps forward and bows to his father, "rise son," Jupiter commanded, as Jason stood up Jupiter said, "I will offer you godhood for what you did, do you accept?" "yes father," he said without hesitation, I glanced at Piper and I saw a little hurt in her eyes as she looked down.
I stepped towards her and rubbed her back softly trying to convert her.
she smiled sadly towards me and also a look of pity crossed her face. I hate it when people feel sorry for me, it makes me want to crawl into a hole and suffer, it makes me feel weak and broken.
Jason sat in a new thrown next to his fathers and looked at Piper and a look of confusion crossed his face as he saw her upset, until he noticed that he was the problem, he looked guilty, he must have found an interest in his shoes lately because he was looking at them like they was the next best thing.
Jupiter sat back on his thrown looking at his son proudly then he looked at Ares. Ares changed aspect to please his son and said "Frank Zhang, come my son."
Frank nervously stood in front of his father and bowed before being told to stand by his father. "you did well son, as for your deeds we ask if you would accept godhood and be my right-hand man."
Frank didn't reply but looked at Hazel, his father sensed his discomfort and assured him "she will also be offered the godhood, do you accept?" Frank looked back to his father after Hazel nodded and said "I would be honoured father." he got shot by a red light and a new thrown appeared next to his fathers and he sat on it.
next was Aphrodite, she said "daughter, step forward," Piper stepped to the middle of the thrown room and bowed to her mother, Aphrodite simply waved her hand for her to rise and she did. "Piper, I want to offer you godhood and a place next to me, you will also be able to detect love and tell if its true or false love, do you accept?" Piper looked down and nodded.
she was engulfed in a pink mist and a new thrown appeared next to the love goddess, as soon as the mist disappeared she didn't go to her seat, but looked at Jason and broke down crying, Aphrodite jumped up and hugged her daughter, to everyone's surprise. "what?" Jason said as if he did something wrong. Aphrodite glared at him and said "you don't love my daughter truly, just like your father you dirty cheating fuck!"
everyone looked at the goddess in surprise except for me, I was too busy thinking about what I wanted.
Aphrodite and Piper walked back to their thrones and instead of sitting in her own Piper sat on her mothers lap as she rocked her slightly.
next was Hephaestus, he said "son," and Leo walked to his father and bowed, "stand my son," Hephaestus said and Leo stood while still fiddling with a couple of junk in his fingers. "will you become my head blacksmith and craftsman?" Hephaestus said tiredly not wanting to make a show of it like his other relatives. "of course father." Leo said immediately. he was engulfed by an orange light and a new thrown was put next to Hephaestus' thrown, Leo ran to his thrown and laid on it lazily.
they all chuckled at him, except me, Mr. D and Aphrodite who was too concerned about her child. next in line was Hades, he shifted the aspect into Pluto for Hazel and said "step forth daughter of mine." Hazel moved slowly and a little timidly to her father and bowed, he waved his hand for her to stand and she did. "daughter, I would like you to become my Princess of the underworld." Hazel looked shocked for a second then nodded her head and she got covered in a black shadow, a newly thrown appeared next to her fathers and she sat on it softly. "son, I also want you to be the Prince," Hades said shifting back to his greek aspect. Another thrown appeared and Nico was sat on it looking shocked.
"Perseus," my father said and I walked up to him and bowed and he said "stand," therefore I did so, "do you accept the gift of godhood?" "No," I said sternly, "of course you don't, what do you want then for doing this deed?" my father muttered at first then said the rest louder.
"I want to die."
